Good Morning. I'm going to try this stuff--Omega 3,6,9

I've been reading on Vitalady's grads list about how we might need more omega 3,6,9s to help ward off autoimmune issues as we get further out and older. I think I'm going to try this swirl since it claims to be 9 times more absorbable than fish oil capsules and I know I would only absorb about 20% or less from straight oil anyway. Wondering if anyone takes Omega 3, 6 and 9 oils or makes sure they eat flax seed to get them. What can you share about the benefits?

Thanks and y'all have a great Thursday.

Hi Gina,

I use Omega 3,6 & 9 everyday, I put about 1tbsp in my protein smoothie in the morning.  I have definitely noticed its benefits and you can't taste it!

Every time I have tried different Omega and DHA pills, I get sick. So for now I make sure I eat lots of fish (salmon).

I used a capsule form simular to this preop and it improved my cholesterol numbers. Especially brought up my good cholesterol which was always low.
I havent started back up postop, I didnt know if I could absorb the oil. I guess I should have asked Michelle. Did you see the lightbulb going on! lol
I like the idea of the liquid, because I do not relish the idea of another 2  big pills added to my day.
Thanks for sharing, you always have something for me to think about!

Nope, but our family eye doctor just recommended it for dry eyes in the winter months. I brought my 14-yr-old in because his contact lenses were bothering him. Our eyes always get dry in MN with the cold dry air and forced hot air heating in our old house.  Good luck with it Gina.

I switched from the Fish Egg Oil in the capsules to the Bariatric Advantage Omega 3 Chews.  They only have the 3 not the 6 and 9.  I took it for cholesterol issues.  I'll have to look into this and see if I need the others also.

I only take an Omega 3 supplement... did before surgery (the big horse pills 1200mg) but after surgery I switched over to Coromega.  It's a liquid/paste type form of omega3 and I get it autoshipped from Amazon.  Pretty cheap, but supposedly very good levels of Omega 3.  The kind I get is orange flavored.

Thanks, John. I have a little Coromega left that I bought a year or so ago. Got my mom hooked and then forgot about it. I tried the orange today in a chocolate protein shake with orange SF syrup and 2 Coromega squeezes. Couldn't tell it was even there.
